“What if Star Wars were real?” is the question posed by ISWWR, who have a site full of evidence that the battle between Jedi and Sith may, indeed, be a secret part of our history. Extensive photoshopped totally real pictures like the one above show a bit of this secret history. ISWWR members also muse on day-to-day life on Earth if Star Wars were real:

“Jawas would run every used car lot.” – Andrew Marzka
“A new comedy series on TV would be called How I Met My Sister.” — Mark Seely
“Your microwave would constantly remind you it is well versed in over six million forms of communication.”
“The World Series would have a new meaning.” — Andrew Martin Hogsten
“Mustafar would have been covered with signs reading: WARNING: LAVA” — Bryan Patrick Stoyle
“Windows Vista wouldn’t be any better.” — Mark Seely
“George Lucas would be broke.” — Andrew Martin Hogsten
“Mom would be living in MY basement.”
“There wouldn’t be much ‘celebrating’ at Star Wars conventions.”
